It is one of the most striking matches in the history of the French team. Two after winning the World Cup, the Blues led by Roger Lemerre rose to the final of Euro 2000. Opposed to Italy, on July 2, 2000 at the Feyenoord Stadion in Rotterdam, the Habs went just a few seconds from a huge disillusionment.
Led by Squadra Azzurra after a realization by Marco Delvecchio (55e), Zinedine Zidane and his teammates managed to equalize in the last moments of additional time (90e+4)… before deliverance during extra time. On a service by Robert Pirès, David Trezeguet scored the gold goal to offer the Euro to the Blues (103e).
On the replacement bench at the time of David Trezeguet's saving goal, Johan Micoud returned to the evening team set this Wednesday, on the explosion of joy of French players. The former playmaker then told an anecdote on Christophe Dugarry, seated next to him and who remained without reaction.
Micoud on Dugarry: “The guy he completely loses the notion of the thing”
“” When I tell it to the person (Christophe Dugarry, editor's note), she tells me that it was not that, but hey, I experienced him so I can tell you. When there is the goal of David Trezeguet, the whole bench rises and leaves to celebrate with him. I do not know why but I turn around and I see Christophe Dugarry who is sitting and I said to him: “But what are you doing Duga?” »». And he replied: “With the Italians, you never know …” “Slipped Johan Micoud, causing an explosion of laughter on the set.
If this episode has marked Micoud, Dugarry has no memory of it. ” LThe last time I met him I asked him if he remembered it, he said no, entrusted the one who became a columnist for the L'Equipe chain. You say to yourself with stress, emotion, fatigue, guy he completely loses the notion of the thing. And he forgot that it was the golden goal. »»
